Sci-fi vs. sci-fact

"You are not dead until you are warm and dead." Another great quote from the scientific community. It is not wrong. People who were thought to be dead, frozen in fact, have been re-heated and given their life back. They are living now. If this can happen in nature, why not in nurture?

The prospect of lowering a person's demand for oxygen has many medical advantages. A person in surgery would be at a much lower risk. Studies have already been done that prove the benefits of suspended animation in medical procedures. To be able to slow someone's heart, or even stop it, while operating on it has inconceivable benefits. I am in full support of this research and hope to see it save many lives.
